Variables inside Javascript? Any "safe tags"?

Well-known member

I'm doing some customizations for my site, however need to basically use variables I'm pulling from my controller inside a piece of javascript which is in the template.

To give you an example, one of my lines is:

Code:

$("#rate-visual").animate({width: "66%"}, 1000);

66% will be replaced with {$visual}% however obviously if I place that in there it wont work (or the JS wont work) because the system will be confused between JS and variables (unless something special exists ).

Does Xen have 'safe tags' (e.g smarty has {literal} {/literal} to place around javascript) to help with this?

I'm sure I saw something a while back about this but cant for the life of me find it now :/
